For more than 10 years, the fully accredited* staff and trainers at ECO-Development Southwest have supplied contractors with materials to build with Energy Star-rated Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs).

But we also build projects -- top to bottom -- for those clients who desire a turnkey approach from a Green company they trust. ECO-Block Insulating Concrete Forms represent the most cost-effective way to build in today's demanding Green environment. Combining those high-quality, industry-tested systems with superior front-office and field-rep service is why ECO-D Southwest is one of the most successful in the region.

Using high-quality materials that have been demonstrated to be tried and true within even the most challenging of situations and climates and employing only the highest calibre materials has brought the prestigious LEEDS certifications, which ECO-D employs on a daily basis through advanced techniques and consistent training.

Such attention to detail on your project means your ECO-Block experience will not only help the community (and the planet) but save you money by investing in the industry's own "best practices."

Another bonus? ECO-Block is simpler and easier to install than most other ICF systems and certainly easier and more cost-effective than steel beam and wood-frame methods — meaning ECO-Block projects get off the ground quicker, take less time and require fewer laborors.

ECO-Block buildings are vastly more energy-efficient and are field tested to withstand most major climate challenges. Exhaustive independent studies and demonstrations prove the system is stronger, quieter, resistant to fire, moisture, mold, wind and flooding. All this while leaving a smaller carbon footprint than any of its industry peers.

Former U.S. Vice President, Nobel Prize winner and environmental activist Al Gore and Media mogul Ted Turner's daughter (who recently completed one of the country's most expensive "fully green and environmentally friendly" houses) characterized insulated concrete forms as having "a positive ecological impact — a truly viable material in the green building movement."

We think you'll see this kind of "positive impact," too ... in your wallet when the utility bills start coming in.

When you're ready to learn more about these simple yet sophisticated ICF systems, we'd be delighted to consult — on site, if you like — fee-free.
